Dependencies in Item-Adaptive CAT Data and Differential Item Functioning Detection: A Multilevel Framework [PDF]
arXivThis study investigates differential item functioning (DIF) detection in computerized adaptive testing (CAT) using multilevel modeling. We argue that traditional DIF methods have proven ineffective in CAT due to the hierarchical nature of the data. Our proposed two-level model accounts for dependencies between items via provisional ability estimates ...

Multipliers spaces and pseudo-differential operators [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 Let $\sigma(x,\xi) $ be a sufficiently regular function defined on $R^d \times R^d.$ The pseudo-differential operator with symbol $\sigma$ is defined on the Schwartz class by the formula: \[f\to\sigma f(x)=\int_{R^d} \sigma(x,\xi) \hat{f}(\xi)e^{2\pi ix\xi}d\xi, \] where $\hat{f}(\xi)=\int_{R^d} f(x)e^{-2\pi ix\xi}dx$ is the Fourier transform of $f ...

Testing Whether Reported Treatment Effects are Unduly Dependent on the Specific Outcome Measure Used [PDF]
arXivThis paper addresses the situation in which treatment effects are reported using educational or psychological outcome measures comprised of multiple questions or "items." A distinction is made between a treatment effect on the construct being measured, which is referred to as impact, and item-specific treatment effects that are not due to impact, which
